Should be fixed with the next release schedule for coming Friday.

This is a known issue with dependencies from testing/unstable as clearly 
noted on the download page:

"
  The release packages are only produced once shortly after a new version 
has
  been released. As unstable, not yet released debian versions (testing) 
and
  ubuntugis-unstable can have library changes the packages might sooner 
or
  later be broken for these targets, when the development in debian, 
ubuntu or
  ubuntugis-unstable moves on and their packages used as dependencies in 
qgis
  change. In that event you can either

   * move to a stable debian version and use the released packages for 
it,
   * wait for the next point release (due 2019-11-22 12:00:00 UTC), which 
happens every month and will include the updated dependencies,
   * switch to a nightly repository (available for the two release 
branches and master) whose packages are rebuild on regular basis and 
will also pickup the updated dependencies automatically or
   * build your own set of packages (see INSTALL).
